Light and Darkness

This truly is a special phase in my life.

Since when was I ever the person to seclude myself in my home and not go out? Life sure has changed.

I still do, just to climb, not much else.

But I am also grateful for this phase, it has given much time to think. Though I start to feel that I need to go out more or my eyes will burn from staring at the comp whole day.

What else do we do when we are home? Haha!

It has come to my attention

Have you ever asked yourself

Are you light or darkness?

I've started to think lately

Perhaps I am light.

Not 100% light. I would say 80% light, 20% darkness.

No one is fully light and no one is fully dark.

Wait wait wait

I'm guessing that you might think... "dark is bad"

You misunderstand, I'm talking about personalities here

So dark does not necessarily mean bad.

Dark simply means that you have a pessimistic view on life. Always taking the worst into account. Being skeptical about many things. Being realistic.

Light on the other hand means always looking at the brighter side of life. Being optimistic. Believing. Being happy. Being imaginative.

Most people would think that being 'dark' means you are a 'bad' person. And being 'light' means you are a 'good' person.

Not at all. Anyone can be bad. And anyone can be good. It's a matter of choice, whether or not you are light or dark.

Yes, you can do good with a dark personality, and you can do bad with a light personality. It's no real surprise. Just look around and you'll understand.

Life is about balance, good cannot exist without evil, and light cannot exist without darkness.

So who says having a dark personality is bad? Having a TOO dark personality might be bad, but otherwise not really. I think that it's good that this balance exists.

As I was saying, yeah, I think I belong more to the light side. Though a part of me still holds a great kind of darkness within

I don't really understand it yet. But as I grow older I think I'll start to understand what that darkness in me is all about, and tend to it.

It's hard to understand yourself sometimes. It takes time and exposure to all kinds of elements to really understand who you are. That is a real art in itself. Then only can you bring out the best in yourself.

As I mentioned, both light and darkness exist together in balance.

Both of them have good and bad traits.

Light should learn from darkness and darkness should learn from light.

Why else do you think we are all born differently? So we can learn each others strengths and help each other overcome our weaknesses.

You can learn something from your dark friend. And your dark friend can learn something from you if you have a light personality. Isn't that great???

People who really succeed are really just people who can get along with a lot of people and learn from them. People who tend to seclude themselves from others don't really have enough exposure to improve themselves.

Am I talking about myself now? Haha! Hell yeahhhhhh, but I still think I need to be away for a while. Will be a while before I come back.

Yes, it feels like a sort of dark period for me. It might be kind of good. For a change. Who knows what will happen? That's the most exciting thing.

And I've been sort of liking more love songs nowadays. Strange. I don't remember liking them so much. Hmmmmmmmmm.

What a weird phenomena? Nah, I don't think I'm in love. But I just sort of started liking them more.

One of the traits of a dark person is their ability to be more sensitive to emotions compared to light people. I am usually not so sensitive to those kinds of emotions. But lately..... perhaps I've changed a little.

Saw a few Japanese children that day, ahhh, so adorable. Oh man am I becoming a pedophile?

When girls say it it's fine, but when a guy says it its just.... creepy.

Hm. Next Wednesday. The day is nearing!

I need to go somewhere important that day. Well, it's just something important I have to do and I decided to do it on that day.

Wow, the first month of the year is gone. 11 months left. So quick? Unbelievable....

So anyhow, are you light or dark? Positive or negative? Optimistic or pessimistic? Imaginative or realistic?

There is still a lot more depth into both light and dark, as I have recently understood.

What is a good balance? 50% light 50% dark?

I'm not sure either. But whatever it is, we have to be happy with ourselves no matter what the percentage we have.

Perhaps when I learn more I shall write about it.

But for now, happy chinese new year!

Have a blast, hope you guys get many ang pau~!

Unfortunately for me, every chinese new year seems to get a bit more dull.

When I was young I was much happier haha! Ahhhh, those young days... I was bombing ant hills with fire crackers. So fun. Now that were older it's kind of less fun already.

Nevertheless! There are still loads of things to look forward to in life. No matter. Though childhood time really was free of worries. But well growing up is a part of life. And it should happen naturally and we should have fun doing it =)

.
.
.

Oh, it looks like I might not be going back. Johor is flooded, my mom just told me a few seconds ago.

WELL! Not that it really makes much of a difference to me.

WAIT! No more ang pau???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo!!!

Can they send the ang pau to me by mail ? XDDDDD ahahaha!

Ahhh, it's allright, that's all for now peeps~ =)

p.s. We'll talk more about this next time =)

Pretty Pretty Please





Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood
Miss 'No way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated
Look, I'm still around

Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're f*ckin' perfect to me!

You're so mean, when you talk about yourself, you were wrong
Change the voices in your head, make them like you instead
So complicated, look happy, you'll make it!
Filled with so much hatred...such a tired game
It's enough! I've done all I can think of
Chased down all my demons, I've seen you do the same

Oh, pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're f*ckin' perfect to me

The whole world's scared so I swallow the fear
The only thing I should be drinking is an ice cold beer
So cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time
Done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere
They dont like my jeans, they don't get my hair
Exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time
Why do we do that? Why do I do that?

Why do I do that..?

Yeah, oh, oh baby, pretty baby..!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*ckin' perfect
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel
Like you're nothing, you're fucking perfect to me
You're perfect, you're perfect!
Pretty pretty please, don't you ever ever feel
Like you're less than f*kin' perfect,
Pretty pretty please, if you ever ever feel like you're nothing
You're perfect to me...

=)

Existence of Balance

I was just thinking about it just now. There is, great sadness in this world. A great many sadness that words cannot simply express it.

Everyone has their own hardship. Everyone has their own story. Everyone has their own experience with life. So that's why everyone thinks differently of life.

Two people who come from different parts of the world would have totally different views and opinions about life.

But we know that, no matter where your from, everyone goes through hardship and sadness in their lives. A sad thought occured to me just now. Was that many years from now the day will come where I will have to stand in front of my mom's grave.

Thinking about it made me really sad. Does that day really have to come? I foresee many hardships ahead. I'll probably never be prepared for that day. But I know deep down that it probably will come. Life doesn't give you a choice in that matter.

It is also believed that life is of great balance. There are great downs, but there also great ups. Like the day we get married to our beloved. The times you travel around to see the world and become enlightened by it. The day when you have children of your own. Those are great ups.

I don't think life is about living the perfect life, or having the perfect partner, or perfectly planning out your future. What I really think life is about is, is living life honestly with yourself. Finding the one who will want to grow old with you. Not necessarily planning everything about the future, but you know where you want to be.

Due to the fact that life is of great balance, everything you do has a 'cause and effect'. No matter how insignificant it maybe. I believe it so. Doing 'this' provides you with 'that' result. Doing another way gives you another result.

That is why as Albert Einstein said, doing the 'same' thing expecting 'different' results is insanity. That's one of the reason I'm living my life slightly differently now. I would like to see the results it produces. It might be better, might be worse, but it fits the criteria of achieving something 'different' either way.

Something you do today might not have an effect now, but it may have an effect sometime in the future. You never know. Right now something might have happened to you because of something you did previously in the past.

Right now, the increase in the human population to 7Billion, effects the environment. Increase in our population means decrease in animal and plants population. As well as many other effects. We seem to bring a lot of trouble to the environment everywhere we go.

Everything hangs in the balance all the time. Imagine a box ---> |_|

So, you can say that the box is always full with water --->

Everytime, water is constantly being poured into the box

The box always remains full, but water is flowing in, and water is flowing out.

That's the cause and effect. Because you poured water into it, water comes out of it.

The same goes with life. When people die, someone is born elsewhere.

Whenever we do something, we are pouring water into the box. Somewhere else, water is being poured out.

That's the theory of the balance of life. I truly believe that everything we do has an effect on our surroundings, and most of the time we are oblivious to it.

What am I trying to get at?

I'm trying to say, when you think about something, hard enough, properly enough, it has an effect.

You might say no, it's not possible to get something simply by just your thoughts.

I believe otherwise. Everything we do has an effect no matter how insignificant it is. We hold more power to change the world than we think we do.

You need belief in your own strength before this is even possible. You need to understand what you are truly capable of as a human being. I'll give you an example

Let's say you have a GREAT talent for pottery making. BUT you were never exposed to pottery making. So throughout your ENTIRE life you never knew that you were good at pottery making, and never did it. That's because you did not KNOW that you were good at it, and also because you never happened to be exposed to it.

If you knew that you had GREAT talent in it, most likely you would have gave it ago, who knows what masterpieces you could have produced? But it never happened, simply because we did not explore our talents

THE SAME GOES WITH OUR MINDS! We do not explore the real capabilities of your minds. The problem with ourselves is that we often underestimate our own brains so much that we really become less talented and less smart. We do not explore and expose our minds to as much as we should.

BECAUSE WE BELIEVED NEGATIVELY!

Now you understand why I say believing is so important?

Believing is always the first step. Believing in the possibilities that we can achieve.

.
.
.
.
.

My mind tells me now that things ahead are going to get a lot tougher. It never gets easier usually. Knowing this, I can only decide to go through and do what I can to make a change. With life. Everything has a cause and effect. The smallest things cause big differences and changes.

Simply because we are always hanging in the balance.

Understand your capabilities as a human being. You are greater than you think you are. But even so, always practice modesty. Being humble is really important otherwise we tend to get really full of ourselves and forget what's really important.

I don't think we should treat happiness and hardships differently

Whether or not a good or bad thing happens to us, we should learn from it, accept it, understand it, and move on to the next thing.

So whether or not it is good or bad, we can always learn to look at the brighter side of life and be happy.

You'll be surprised, there are people who, when something good happens to them, they become negative about it. Yeah! It's really funny how some people are.

In times to come, you will come to appreciate the bad experiences more. Because they are the ones that teach you the most about life.

Failure is the best teacher. Success is not.

So when something bad happens to you, learn to be grateful, stop complaining so much. Life is a balance. Understand that, and you will accept your life no matter how much bad things life throws at you. Because its a balance, good things do happen.

Just that because sometimes you get so negative about life that when the good things ACTUALLY come, your too negative to really celebrate about it.

So yeah! That's all for now. CNY coming soon, I'll probably be heading back to Johor a few days. Hmmmm, it's going to be a bit boring, but it's allright, I need the peaceful time away to reflect on life again.

Life fascinates me so much that I cannot understand why so many people throw away their lives. They must feel really terrible to be able to summon the courage to throw away something so important. I wonder how they really feel. If I could understand them more.....

Okay folks, have a great night =)

p.s. Dragon Age 2 coming out in march~! =) cant waitttttttt

The Surprises Just Keep Coming

LOL! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What in the world happened today??!?!?!?!!?

That was totally UNEXPECTED! What the....

I'm still trying to comprehend what just happened today.......

I'm..... now the.... WHAT?!?!??!?! *@$)*&!#*)(@!*#()!*#()*!#(*!%&^@#*$&^@#&$

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!

Like today? 26th January? TODAY?!?!?!?!

That was so god damn unexpected =.=

I don't even know if I'm prepared

There are so many questions I have, and I don't know where to start.

The first question to myself would be... HOW ARE YOU FEELING!??!?!?!

Well, after today I just have to say to myself....... WTF?!

It totally caught me off guard!!

Maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but now that I think back... it's really shocking that it could happen just like that

Life once again does not fail to surprise me. I can't imagine what kind of surprises life has in stored for me later in life if I get these kind of surprises at the age of 20 O.o

Am I prepared? To take up this responsibility?

To be honest, I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!!!!!

It does feel.... different. I don't know how to explain. But yeah, this is a first time for me. Even though it's not yet really publicized, I THINK. Or was it? Might be on facebook already.... LMAO

It's a pretty huge responsibility, and I understand the gravity of what it feels like a little, now. I think in times to come it'll get heavier.

What should I do?

I guess I should, like recommended to me, start from zero. Then build everything back up. Hmmmmmmmmm..... What a period for this to happen to me.

Am I okay?

WELL! More of... Worried. I don't know if things will go well, a lot of changes are going to happen to my daily life and introvert routine not long from now. I can't maintain it for much longer.

I might even have to go back to facebook sooner than I thought! Ohhhhhhh, the horror....

Sometimes I do feel like I'm avoiding something, though I'm not so sure what. Who knows! But I think the introvert lifestyle is not so bad.. really

What's my goal?

I think that were in negative now, so let's try getting to zero first, then continue on from there. Yeah, I think we'll start like that. No point doing things that we can't handle in our current state.

Perhaps... I could do this and that... hrm... ok ok.

Do I feel I'll do a good job?

HONESTLY! I have a feeling I'm going to fail. But I'm prepared to go through it if it's the price to pay.

Am I scared?

HELL YEAH IM SCARED! This came as a total surprise to me. I need all the support I can get from them. I just hope I'll be able to do a good job.

And I know doing a good job is NOT easy. It takes effort and time and motivation and everything else.

You might even probably fail on the road to doing a good job. That would be expected. Ahhhh, I don't know what to do. I just gotta pull myself together and accept it and do my best like how I do it when I'm trying to finish up my last minute assignments HAHA!

Those periods of time when I'm rushing for the last minute assignments are truly magical and MEMORABLE AHAHA! I hope that this experiece will be memorable too. Though I really can't tell.

Oh yeah, I got 8/10 for that program last week. Not bad... But I could do a 9 if I worked harder.. .(or rather if I started doing earlier XD)

.
.
.
.
.

It's hard. It's hardddddd, I don't think it's even a medium difficulty. T_T

This thing that happened to me, I mean. Not programming. For programming, with enough research and hard work you'll do well. Really.

Maybe I might be making too big a deal of this. But hey, it's a huge responsibility and I should really take it seriously. And I had to express how I feel somehow XD

Looks like things are going to get REALLY busy. More busy than what I was. Which means less climbing, less lazy-ing, and less other activities. O.o!!!! I WONDER IF IM READY TO MAKE THE SACRIFICES?!!??!?!?!??!

Sometimes I wish I can just stay home and do nothing. Sometimes =)

.
.
.
.
.
.

On the other hand, a small part of me does feel..... a little okay about it. Just a small part. It does feel like taking up the responsibility. Though I don't know if that feeling of wanting to accomplish something will last.

I'm most worried about not finishing what I started. It's one of my worst traits. And I dislike it very much. To follow through to the end is never easy.

So all I can do is just get my head together and just persevere and do what it takes.

I had a long lunch with my friend. It was fun. There was council meeting too. It was kinda okay too to see everyone again. I haven't been so active in the council lately. But yeah, getting back, maybe?

I wonder when I'll really go back to facebook, by this thursday it'll be the 1 month mark already haha!

I think so. I wonder how everyone is doing? All those facebook maniacs XD

I wonder if they miss my super long updates XD HAHAHA! I do miss it =)

January ends soon.... 11 months to go for this year. Time, slow down a bit la XD

I wonder, how hectic my ending of the semester will be.

And I wonder what more surprises is to come.

And I wonder if there's anything to eat in the fridge? HAHA

.
.
.
.
.
.

Let's hope for the best.

P.s. Was today... A coincedence? Hmm... Who knows.

Everyone Carries The Future With Them

Yo! TODAY! I finished a portion of my assignment~! It's worth 10%, handed in just now, at 4.45pm ROFL!!

Had to upload to elp, the thing closes by 5pm ya know? I WAS SO CLOSE TO NOT MAKING IT IN TIME AHAHAHAHA!!

It's me and my amazing last minute-ness againnnnnnn =DDDD

But I made it somehow. I did pretty ok for it, I think can get 8/10 or 9/10

Hopefully la~! =D

I started last night.. around 11? HAHAHAHAHA!!

I was reading manga until 11 XD

IT WAS SUCH A CLIMATIC PARTTT!! HOW CAN I DO MY ASSIGNMENT??!?!!?!?!?

But I did do some of it a few days ago la, a little bit XD

SO anyhow! It seems like my days are filled with assignment after assignment. I can't imagine my year 3~! How can this be? Oh wellllll, hrhrmhmrmhrmhrm.

.
.
.
.

I'm nearly cured, I recovered, eventhough I slept only 5 hours yesterday

I slept, at 5am yesterday cuz I stayed up doing the assignment XD Then I woke up at 10~! Awesome.

I don't know how I managed to wake up, if it were a college day I surely wouldn't so easily wake up ~~~

MAYBE ITS BECAUSE IF I DONT FINISH THE ASSIGNMENT MY 10% IS GONE?!?!?? XD XD XD

I was pretty glad! I did a pretty decent job for such LAST MINUTE WORKKKK~!!! =DDDD

Man, I need to get rid of that habit. BUT THE MANGA WAS SO GOODDDDD~!! XDDDD

Yesterday was thaipussam, i stayed home the whole day, but I was playing the Witcher, a PC game I recently bought XD IMAGINEEEE~! I should've been doing my assignment

*guilty*

Ah~!

.
.
.

Well I've been thinking

Have you ever wondered if we'll ever achieve time travel?

This theory has been spoken about since longgggggggggg

That makes you wonder, if we actually do discover time travel some millions of years from now, why haven't they come back to the past?

To this time?

Or maybe they do, but it becomes a parallel world when that happens.

Then think about this

Let's say we had the ability to travel through time

Then we could go back and change a lot of things. We could go back and warn people about the 9 11 incident, then so many people would have been saved

World war II

The natural disasters

The lottery tickets!!!!!!

Wow.

It feels that the world would be REALLY unbalanced if time travel were ever to exist

Things would get pretty messy

It makes you think... Is it right to go back and change the past if you could?

In my opinion

Not really. I don't really think it's right.

Even if it's to save people, in my opinion, what has happened has already happened

And it should stay that way. Even if your loved one dies...

Why? Why not??

Because I know that it is not so easy to change the world

And whatever things we do as humans that involves selfish desires never helps anyone.

So that is why we should respect time. Respect the past. Live for tomorrow.

Yes. We can spend our days regretting the past. But it is there forever whether we like it or not

The future however, is still undecided. We can still make a change to tomorrow. But not the past.

The present is the embodiment of our past. We are here in the present because of the past.

We created the past, but what about the future?

Is it possible to create the future that you want?

There is one very good rule of thumb I always stick by.

Look. Look at everyone, from a third person point of view.

What determines their lives?

What makes them who they are?

The answer is... Simply the way they think.

You can see people from all walks of life. What differentiates us most is our way of thinking.

Some feel that working hard in a job is the way to go. Yeah! If your happy you should do it

Some feel that working isn't their thing, they'd rather be a boss. Yeah! Go ahead

Some feel that they don't want to work, they want to travel after achieving financial freedom. Yeahhhh~! Do what you want.

Some feel their ego is most important

Some feel their money is most important

Some feel their family is most important

Some feel love is most important

It could be anything. Everyone has a different thinking.

The point is everyone thinks differently. And how you think really determines what your gonna be.

So what is your future?

Everyone carries the future with them.

I'm surprised at how... So few people actually take into consideration what they should THINK about.

.
.
.

People often talk to me like they really have no control of their future.

I ask them what plans do you have? They often tell me no plan or... Why think so much?

Listen. You won't get anywhere without an idea of where you want to be.

They just do what they feel like doing at the moment.

YOU really think that SUCCESS is about DOING the things that you LIKE?

I like programming. BUT you think I enjoy the late nights? Sleeping late finishing the program? Cracking my head for days and getting little or no progress?

DEFINITELY NOT! But I do it. Because it's what it takes to be successful.

It's not about doing something that you like to do for the sake of doing it. It's doing something for the sake of achieving your dreams whether you like it or NOT.

And trust me, most of the time it's NOT.

That's why only 10% of people really succeed greatly in life.

Because these 10% are willing to do what 90% of people would NEVER do.

Why?

Because the 90% don't FEEL like doing it.

hahahaha!! It's nice to see how your feelings play you out in life.

Whether it'd be in career or relationships or anything.

That's why control of your emotions is a really great skill to have.

Pay close attention to successful people. Do what they do. Think like how they think. And you will be successful.

Watch as the successful person FAILS, what does he do?

when the successful person goes through a heartbreak, or he lost his job, or someone important to him just died. WHAT DOES HE DO?

Does he cry in the corner?

Does he tell EVERYONE how terrible his life is?

Does he drink everyday until he dies of alcohol poisoning?

Or does he

Stand up again

And say

"I'm so happy to be alive"

.
.
.
.

You can either be grateful or be a complainer.

Which are you?

Someone betrays you.

Do you say "that son of a b**** made my life a living hell bloody hell that %!@*)$*!)#!$!#*!@"

Or do you say "he helped me understand more about life and made me wiser and the lessons I learned from that experienced helped me to get to where I am today. Success."

Someone rams your car

Do you get down and say "god damn ARE YOU FREAKING BLIND!?!? DONT YOU KNOW HOW TO DRIVE??!?!?!??!! ARE YOU GONNA PAY FOR THIS OR WHAT?!?!"

Or do you say "Are you allright? Thank god your not hurt. It's allright, we all make mistakes. The most important thing is were both fine"

Someone breaks up with you

DO you say "it's all his/her fault! I was so good to him/her. I did everything and YET he/she NEVER appreciated me! Why?????? I never did anything wrong!"

Or do you say "It's my fault. I probably did not do a proper job of being a bf/gf. I must have hurt him/her somewhere if not none of this would have happened. I pray that he/she finds a true happiness with his/her loved one someday."

Are you grateful?

Or are you a complainer?

Choose.

You will see that most people are complainers

most people CANT wait to tell people how terrible their lives are.

I don't understand.

I'd rather tell people how GREAT my life is!

Is it fun to get other people's sympathy?

Successful people don't seek people's sympathy. They are the ones sympathizing others, not the other way around.

Because those people who are not successful can't see their own mistake, it's a real pity for them. The first step is to change your way of thinking, and for that you need an open mind. It's not easy as it sounds. Most of us put our ego before anything else.

So that's why! Even though I spend late nights doing programming, I still will tell you it's great! Why not? I'm doing well. And I'm learning well. And I feel good.

It exercises my brain a lot. For someone like me who ENJOYS thinking a lot, this is really one of the right courses for me to be in.

Just that I got to manage my time better and not succumb to manga addiction ahaha!

Life is good.

It's always good.

No matter what happens. Life is good.

It's just that at that moment in time, you will feel life is terrible

But give it time. And life will be good again.

Time. It's the key that holds the world together

Break the rule of time and the world will be in chaos.

Time. Time. Time.

It tells a lot, don'tcha think =)

p.s. You carry the future right now. Shape it.

Anyhow! After I told my mom that my back FRIGGING hurts, she took that thing that is used to hit the back one... that round thingy.

So she just kept hitting my back with it, to promote blood circulation

OMG IT WAS SO DAMN PAINFULLLLLLLL!!!! =/

but now I feel better, can move better a bit

Maybe I should ask her to hit my legs and ass too, CUZ THEY HURT AS WELL!!!!

Oh yeah, while my mom was hitting my back, we had a weird discussion

Mom : You always climb with 'that person's name' huh? You fetch her yesterday?

Me : yeah, fetched her from tution

Mom : You not worried she likes you???

Me : HAHAHAHA! No laaaa, were good friends la

Mom : Ohhhh, how she treat you?

Me : Always curse non stop at me and always hit me and ALWAYS pinch me!!!!

Mom : Haha, then she really beat you wan a? How come?

Me : Cuz I always kacau her one ma. Sometimes she finish school then didn't go home bathe, so got an INTERESTING smell~! XD

Mom : Oh yeah hor, she got a bit of that.

Me : But everyone who comes back from school also got one la. Haha!

Mom : They say beat means love wor.

Me : No larrrrr! I don't think so XD She damn vain one, so she can't tahan when I say got smell XD

Mom : Correct la~! Girls must be vain ma~! If not how to become pretty?

Me : mmm....

.
.
.
.

Phew! That session was damn painful, she finally finish hitting my back.

Hey! It's so weird~! People always think I'm a couple with her~~! I don't really get it =/

Were just close friends laaaa, who can be natural around each other

I don't have such pedophile punya intentions one la =.=

And even if she grew older, this is one friendship where it's better to stay friends than lovers. Hoho~!

But ah~! Life is full of surprises. You never know sometimes. I hope that nothing happens in the future O.o~!

Haha! Guess I shouldn't overthink it, things are great this way.

AND IM STILL IN PAIN~!!!!!!! T_T

I guess I should get loads of rest today.

Ohhh my poor backkkkk T_T

That's all for now~! Toodlessss~! =D

p.s. I really think I over-climbed in the past few days XD Hope I recover soon =D

Climbing 2 days KILLS

Oh shitttttttttttt

MY FINGERS HURTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

LOL! Mannnn, lately I've been pretty actively climbing. Like crazy

About 4 times a week.

That's ermh.... quite crazy huh? 4 days out of 7 I'm climbing at camp5.

Crazyyyyyyyy

I was thinking of increasing it to 5, but not yet, my fingers can't take it, YET

Need to strengthen them

And I'm trying to start learning one hand chin ups

YES, you can learn it.

I realized that I still can't do one hand chin ups cause I never worked on it, so now I'm trying really hard. It's gonna take a while, each month I should be able to go a bit higher

Right now I can only go 1/10 up when using one hand. That's a little pathetic lol haha!!!

But it's an improvement, last time I couldn't even move with one hand.

I.gotta.get.stronger.

I also realized my upper body is really building up

the PROBLEM with that is, climbing is not JUST about upper body strength

It requires flexibility (damn... I need to start stretching) cuz there are certain moves where you have to get your feet up REALLY high.

It requires stamina (for long distance climbing)

It requires accuracy and precision (for footholds, they're really small so you should practice using your toes a lot ) certain moves also require you to have good aim, sometimes you jump for pieces and sometimes you dead point.

And it requires core strength (your abs, they need to be developed so its easier to bring ur feet up, and its also easier to climb routes that are slanting)

And body tension! (it's a bit hard to explain, but lets just say you need this to keep your body on the wall otherwise your feet will fly out)

Powerrr~! (this is mostly attributed to upper body strength. Having power means that you can perform dynamic moves. Such as jumping or dead pointing to a not so nice hold, or a far away hold)

finger strength! (this is important cuz there are A LOT of rocks which are SERIOUSLY hard to hold if you don't have the finger strength)

And TECHNIQUEEEEE~! (this might be the most important of all, keeping your body in balance while climbing, and making sure you don't over-pump yourself while climbing. Getting good resting positions require good technique. Often times good technique helps reduce the power required to do a move, which allows you to last longer)

Oh yes!

The last element that a climber requires is really

Courage!

Yeahhhh, you need courage to face the heights and lead climb falls. Let's just say not many people are willing to go for a move they are not confident in finishing. Truth is you should still do it anyway eventhough you are going to fall.

.
.
.
.
.

SO YEAH! I just came back. It's crazyyyyyyy, I was SUPER hungry when climbing. I just had a kebab to alas perut around 5.30pm. But seriously super hungry. After fetching my niece back I went to mamak to eat. Couldn't tahan.

I eat A LOT. Did I mention I eat a lot? Yeah I do! Climbing on an empty stomach is NOT fun.

Anyhow! I sort of discovered I've made some progress. Was doing some old top rope routes. Did a lot better than I expected. Sure, I had some falls, but there was this one route I couldn't even START last time!

Now at least I can finish it (but I fell like 4 times I think before completing it)

point is! Now I'm sort of stronger. But I think technique wise I still need a LOT of work.

I climbed yesterday too. Climbing two days in a row really kills you ya know?

And especially when both days you have COLLEGE! LMAO!!

I started taking supplementation, so my body regenerates better now, which is why I can climb two days in a row, unlike previously.

Oh yea! I heard from my friend that once you reach a certain level in climbing, you can actually climb EVERYDAY cuz your body regenerates fast enough

But that's around 7C level if I'm not mistaken.

I'm about 6B+, I still got some ways to go. I'm near to 6C

But I still need to work a lot to get there, nearly is not good enough, I need to be a solid 6C climber.

Then going from 6C to 7A, breaking that limit is even tougher. It's not easy to become a 7A climber. You need a lot of hard work to do it. I know that the journey ahead is not easy at all. It's going to be especially tough. But so what! I'm just going to do it no matter what.

.
.
.
.

I realized it's a bit hard to balance my life now that I've been climbing so much. Everyday feels so..... busy.

Well usually cuz climbing takes 3-7 hours usually. Haha! Could be even longer if we took our time climbing.

Man, my eyes totally feel like closing.... I just had to write this out though. I'm serious about becoming a 7A climber.

Hmmmmmmmmm....

You know what? The introvert lifestyle is really not so bad as I thought.

Funny how your lifestyle changes sometimes. I do feel like I hang out less with friends, and focus more on doing my own thing. Like studies climbing etc etc.

It's really not so bad. Funny too, it's not as lonely as I thought. Maybe I'm too occupied to be lonely? HAHAHAHA!!

Well anyhow! That's all for now. Just waiting for my hair to dry before heading to bed.

It was a good day! I'll probably read manga while waiting for it to dry completelyyyyyy.

ADIOS~! =D

p.s. I think I'm climbing friday too! Man I'm such a climbing addict =D

FINE DINING?!?!?!

OMGGGGG I THINK IM GONNA GET DIABETESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

LOL!!! SERIOUSLY! MAN!!

Let me explain what happened.

I went fine dining in my college today, and it is run by the hospitality students.

It's like errrrr.... a sort of practice for the students and their teacher assesses them based on their cooking/serving etc etc

SO! My friend asked me to go cuz our bff is gonna be the waitress.

LAWL! IT WAS KINDA LOL!

Even the table next to us was laughingggg, when she had to do the napkin and stuff for us. LOL LA HAHAHAHA

meow : Do you want hot or cold water?

bianca : cold

me : Anything.

meow : DO YOU WANT HOT OR COLD?!

me : O.o!!! Cold!

LOLLLL!! Speechless XD damn garang WAN THIS WAITRESS?!?!?!? O.O!!

SO! the first dish came, it was SALADDDDDD!

I remember the salad I ate at alexis... thank GOD it was not like that salad.

It was much more edible so I finished it. Bianca on the other hand.... ate the mushrooms only? LAWL.

I wonder how she's alive HAHA! She doesn't.eat.vegetables.OMG!! I don't like them but I do eat some la. Haha... I thought I WAS BAD!!

So we started talking about stuffs, can't really remember what we talked about, but yeah! It's been so long since I last spoke to bianca. I can't remember the last time actually.

My lifestyle is kinda different now, more introverted. Anyhow! It's good to catch up again. I really didn't expect her to call me out, that was seriously random.

But hey, coincidences are good, no?

Then the main dish cameee~~~! I kept refilling water I think... at least 3 times already... can't really remember. I have this bad habit of drinking a lot when I eat.

Last time in DRA (district rotaract assembly) I drank about 20+ cups of chinese tea CUZ THE FRIGGING CHINESE FOOD TOOK SO DAMN FRIGGING LONG TO COME!!!!!

So yeah, hungry people aren't happy people =)

SO! In most cases whatever drink I order is finished or at least 2/3 finished by the time my food comes LOL!

The food was kinda nice. The chef did a pretty decent job =) we sorta know the guy. Sorta. Haha.

After eating my main dish I ate bianca's one too. It seems she really couldn't finish it.

MAN! I was telling her that's exactly why husband's get fat, cuz their wife throws all the food to them.

Not that I'm her husband or anything la. The point is that they give the leftovers to the guys. Lmao!

But I'm not complaining ehe, I kinda eat a lot now a days~!

AFTER THATTT!!! I had to go pee. CUZ I DRANK ABOUT 5 GLASSES OF WATERRRRR~!! ROFL!

After I came back, tea was serveddddd

After I put the creamer in the tea, Bianca said:

bianca : hey siah, you know that creamer is super unhealthy?

me : really?????? how come?

bianca : If you know about how they manufacture it, trust me you'll never put creamer again

me : O.O!!! Oh.... But I put it in already SWT!

So yea! By that time I already put in 2 packets of creamer into my tea O.O! I wonder how bad it really is... I don't dare to google it haha!!!!

Then I put in 2 packets of SUGARRRR~~~!!!

So yeahhhh, by that time I was thinking "aiyaaaa, a bit of sugar only maaaa..."

But I didn't know what was coming next =.=

Anyhow! I asked for a refill!

This time I didn't put creamer. YES! But I put another 2 packets of sugar.

SO I HAD 2 CREAMERS AND 4 PACKETS OF SUGAR OH YEAHHHHH~~~~ Awesomeeee.

THEN FINALLYYYYY DESERT WAS SERVEDDDDD~!

It was nice, the pudding, I think it was ice cream pudding? It tasted really... Icy???

BUT there were this erm... wild berries and strawberries too.

IT WAS SO DAMN FRIGGING SWEET

AND IT WAS ALL COATED WITH CONDENSED MILK AND CARAMEL!!!!

I WAS LIKE OMGGGGGGGGGG!! AS IF I WONT GET DIABETES AFTER THIS!!?!?!?!?!

THEN AFTER THAT

bianca : siah.... I can't finish. EAT MY BERRIES

me : WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I was SUFFERINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!! I NEVER TASTED ANYTHING SO FRIGGING SWEET BEFORE!!!!! AND TWO PLATES OF IT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!!!?!?!?

I need to go check my kidneys......

I was suffering so I needed more water. ROFL!

And then when meow came and served the water...

meow : FINISH IT

me : T_T

bianca : =D

*#$(&!#(!&(*#&!@$&^!&$(!*&#(*!&(*!^(&$(*!&#*(!&#*!&*#!@&#@!

if it's one thing that hasn't changed.... IT'S THAT THE BOTH OF THEM STILL FRIGGING ENJOY TORTURING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! $!*(@&#(*&!@*(&!@*(#&!@*(#!@#(

I DONT DESERVE THATTTTTTTTT~!!!!!!!!!! WHY!??!?!?!!?!? O.O!!!!!! I DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHINGGG!!!!!! I JUST ANSWERED ANYTHING WHEN SHE ASKED ME WHETHER I WANTED COLD OR HOT ONLY LER!!!!!!!!!

*breaths*

nvm. I think I'll survive somehow.... O.o!!

So! After paying, we left! Then I had to go toilet one more time HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! ROFL LA!! Water overload XD I need to drink less next time XDDDD

.
.
.
.
.

So after I fetched bianca to help, I went climbing ( I NEEDED TO GET RID OF ALL THAT SUGAR OTHERWISE I THINK MY PICTURE WILL BE IN THE ORBITUARY 10 YEARS FROM NOW)

*touch wood*

SO! Funny thing happened during climbing

Around 6.30 an climbing friend I met a few days ago came.

She's a pretty outgoing and talkative person, she's around 30, it's kinda nice to talk to her, she's one of those talkative noisy hyper types.

We call those people sanguine, if you know what a sanguine is.

I'm also a sanguine by the way XD

ANYHOW! We were climbing this really long route, so we were both resting in the boulder area

then I was thinking... "maybe I should try asking her funny questions"

So I went

me : Hey, when are you getting married?

nat : WHAT?!?!?!?!!??! Is that some kind of CHINESE NEW YEAR opening question????

me : Do you want to get married?

nat : nahhhhhhh

me : oh~! Well yeah, I know loads of girls don't wanna get married nowadays, or ladies la. =D

nat : good for you la~!

me; Eh? why good?

nat : Cuz you dont need to get married la~!!!!

me : But I wanna get married wor

nat : huh?

me : By 25

nat : WHAT?!?!?!? WHY YOU WANNA GET MARRIED SO EARLY FOR?!?!?!?!?!

me : HAHAHA! Well, I just do

nat : how long have you been seeing her?

me : I haven't met her yet

nat : ........ GO CLIMB LA YOU !


HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

It's kinda funny when I ask such weird questions!

But she's really the single type who enjoys life kind of person. I guess she's happy as she is. Or maybe she never just met the right guy or something or gave guys a chance.

Who knows! But what's important is to understand that sometimes people might not support your dreams

Maybe she thought I was joking la. But I wasn't afraid to say it, cause its something I really really want, and I wanted to see how different people react to it.

There was another climbing friend, a guy, he's my age, 20 this year. He was climbing with us also, and coincidentally he's going really steady with his current girlfriend

so I asked

me : Hey, when you planning to get married?

daniel : HUH!?!??! Need to plan one meh???? since when got plan one LOL

nat : Yea la!! For what get married so early??

LOL!! It's interesting to see the different answers XD But you can tell a lot from a person's personality.

Nat probably enjoys freedom a lot. Daniel, probably he's feeling pretty stable with what he's got so he doesn't feel the need to plan when to get married and all those stuff.

So yea! I dont know

I actually discovered

IM PRETTY WEIRD HUH?!?!?!!?

I'm probably one of the few 20 year olds who think about marriage and drives an old awesome van.

Yeah, I sure am weird! But I'm pretty proud of it =) I know what I want in life

I just hope everyone would start asking themselves what they really want and start pursuing it.

AHHHHHH! Even nat says I'm pretty weird.

Oh well! Let's not think too much now XD

So that's all for today~! Nitez peeps =DDDDD

Coincedence?

Heya! Today after class, I went to buy supplements at the headquarters, since my family was running low on supplements.

Where is headquarters? Somewhere lah XD Anyhow, after buying, I decided to eat lunch at the HQ cafeteria.

Funny thing... I waited for my curry mee, if I had ordered nasi lemak it would have taken a shorter time.

So the thing is, I was looking for a place to sit, and there was none. Then suddenly these group of ladies got up, I immediately rushed over to sit

I sat down, and then this malay lady came over with her husband and daughter, and asked if they could share the table with me.

It was for 4 person.

So I said ok, no problem =)

I was REALLY hungry, so the little girl, I think she was about 4 or 5, she stared at me eating, amazed lol!

And her mom said "dik tengok abang makan?" She just nods quietly aha and runs to her dad who is ordering food

haha!!! So CUTE LA SHE! Seriously!

Not that I'm being a pedophile here, but it's funny

Yesterday that european guy who spoke to me also had a daughter.

And after today, I started to think....

It wouldn't be so bad to have a daughter someday =)

I mean, not that a boy is bad, but I was thinking, hey, having a daughter would be lovely huh... =)

AHHHH!!!!

DAMN! Why am I thinking all these stuff when I'm just 20??????? DAMN I SOUND SO OLD!

HAHAHAHAHA!

Sometimes I just laugh at myself.

Then I started to think about it.

If I had ordered nasi lemak instead, I would have sat SOMEWHERE ELSE.

And maybe I wouldn't have met the little girl and her mom and dad.

Then maybe I wouldn't have thought that having a daughter wouldn't be... so bad

Then maybe... that thought might never have came across my mind at all

It just got me thinking, life is really full of coincidences huh? =)

A daughter.....?

Who knows =)

I just bought some PC games too, I was thinking now that my lifestyle is slightly a bit different I could try playing somemore games =)

Yeah, I could download, but it takes time, hey, money for convenience ya know? hehe

It's hard for me to imagine the amount of coincedences I'll face in the future. I welcome the surprises that life provides without fail in each of our lives.

And I believe that some of the best things that ever happen to us humans are really just coincedences that we did not ever expect.

Life is about planning ahead. But life is also about adapting to changes and coincidences. You do plan to get married by 25. But you don't plan for what road you are going to take to get there. Cuz even if you do, you're probably gonna change paths sooner or later.

But the point is you get there, no matter what path you are on.

What life really is about, is simply just growing, and growing and growing

Why is it important to grow?

Because when you grow into a very developed individual, you tend to be able to enjoy life even more. And help those around you enjoy life by spreading positivity and your recipes for success

So that's why to me, marriage really is about two individuals who help each other grow by sharing their emotions, problems, logic, and anything at all, to aid each other into become better individuals on this planet.

That's what it really is to me. I understand that if I don't ever get married, not only will I die alone, I will also not be able to grow to the "next" level. Marriage teaches us really great lessons

Responsibility. Love. Compassion. Respect. Tolerance. Communication. Acceptance.

And a lot more. Who says marriage is easy? It's hard! To have a successful marriage. Why do you think there are so many marriage jokes?

Any couple who have been married for more than 10 20 30 40 years have gone through heaven and hell for sure.

Every successful couple in marriage has a story to tell about their marriage life.

Simply because it's a whole different level of personal development, because it involves TWO people, not just one.

That's why those who succeed in marriage lead much better lives than those who succeed as a single person in life.

You don't have someone important to share your joy with, and humans are not lonesome creatures. We need companionship and love.

So finding a partner for life, to me, is really important. To everyone else that person might be the worst person ever. But to you he/she is perfect for you. You love everything about him or her including his or her weaknesses

And yeah, why should you care what others think? They aren't getting married for you. If you really feel it's the right decision then do get married. I'm not saying don't listen to people's advice.

I'm saying always keep an open mind, and learn to make decisions.

And oh, one thing I would like to stress on advice

It's really important to take note WHO you are taking advice from.

If you take advice from a failure, you ARE going to be like a failure

If you take advice from a successful person, you ARE going to be successful.

You don't ask a person who can't run a marathon "hey, any advice on how to run a marathon?"

You ask the NUMBER ONE marathon runner "hey, what's your advice on running a marathon?"

WHO you ask is really so damn important.

If you want relationship advice go to someone who has SUCCEEDED in a relationship. That's proper advice. Don't go to someone who has failed and ask for advice.

You want to learn about money don't ask people who are just "making enough". Ask the people who are FINANCIALLY FREE and no longer have to work! How did they do it?

Ask them! Ask the right people! Don't be silly by asking people who have not succeeded.

BECAUSE you are going to be JUST like them.

So yes, advice is good, but everyone gives different advice. Ask the right people. And you won't regret it. Ask the people you want to be like.

Someday when I do lead a successful marriage life, I'll do my best to help others achieve it too =)

How do I know I'm going to be successful? Because if my marriage life is NOT successful, I'll do what it takes to MAKE it successful. Simple as that. I don't plan to have a successful marriage straight away. What's the fun in that? There's no success without failure or challenge. That's reality, so face it. You don't get to success without falling at least a few times first.

Ah! I believe I've spoken a tad bit much XD haha!

Well, till next time folks! It's been a long day =)

Imma climb tomorrow ~! Woohoo!! Life's good =DDDD

Sunday, January 16, 2011

HAHA!

LOLLLL! Had fun just now playing board games with old friends. Funny stuff man. Played the card game 'bang'. LOLED like crazy XD It's really fun to catch up with old friends!

Yeahhhhhh, and before that I went climbing in the morning! I cleaned a 6b route and a 6c route! Oh yea! But my fingers are hurting right now XD Small holds man, small holds. But I was pretty happy!

And I also have some progress on my lead route, I figured out I had enough power to do the move, BUT I lack stamina, by the time I get there I'm already out of breath aha! So gotta work on that project route =)

Ahhhh~! My new sem starts tmr~! It's back to my old hectic life! What a 'long' 3 day holiday roflmao! IT DOESN'T EVEN COUNT AHAHAHAHAhAHA!!

MMmmm, my skin is peeling XD Must've been all the climbing haha!

Overall, pretty good day, so relaxing =) enjoyed it to da maxxxxxx

But I think that the next sem will be my most hectic one YET. Ohhhhh man someone please help me.

Sometimes I just wanna stay home and do nothing XD that'll be fun. Rofl.

OH YEA!

Today when I was climbing, I was at the cafeteria in the climbing area. Was watching Chris Sharma climb on TV, when suddenly this European man started talking to me

He was about 40 or 50, had 3 daughters. He brought them climbing. Super friendly dude. And I'm just 19+, and he spoke to me

It's kind of funny. I started to think... Hey, maybe people are really more friendlier than I thought. He had a chinese wife

It started to make me think that, you know, it's actually really easy to start a conversation with a stranger. And it's actually quite fun to talk to someone you don't know. You talk about loads of fresh stuff that you don't usually do with your friends.

He asked me if I ever did deep water solo-ing (climbing on rocks and then falling into the sea)

Never did it, I told him, though someday I would love to. As of now I'm still too inexperienced with the overhang routes. Once I get stronger I definitely want to try.

FALLING INTO WATER MAN! Can you believe it?

We watched Chris Sharma on the route Es Pontas

A 9B deep water solo route. Hm, how hard is 9B? I'm a 6B or 6C climber

So.... After 6C is 7A, 7B, 7C, 8A, 8B, 8C, 9A, 9B

THAT'S how many grades above he is. And it takes a long time to advance to the next grade.




Deep water soloing =)

NOW you know why I said I need to be.... A LOT stronger? Haha =)

9B babeh 9B over the water.

So this is me swallowing my pride




I'm so glad you made time to see me
How's life, tell me how's your family
I haven't seen them in a while
You've been good, busier then ever
We small talk, work and the weather
Your guard is up and I know why

'Cause the last time you saw me
Is still burned in the back of your mind
You gave me roses and I left them there to die

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to december, turn around and make it alright and
I go back to december all the time

These days I haven't been sleeping
Staying up playing back myself leaving
When your birthday passed and I didn't call
And I think about summer, all the beautiful times
I watched you laughing from the passenger side,
Realized I loved you in the fall
And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind
You gave me all your love and all I gave you was goodbye

So this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december all the time
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to december, turn around and change my own mind and
I go back to december all the time

I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right
And how you held me in your arms that September night,
The first time you ever saw me cry
Maybe this is wishful thinking
Probably mindless dreaming
If we loved again I swear I'd love you right

I'd go back in time and change it but I can't
So if the chain is on your door, I understand

But this is me swallowing my pride,
Standing in front of you saying I'm sorry for that night
And I'd go back to december
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you
Wishing that I'd realized what I had when you were mine and
I go back to december, turn around and make it alright and
I go back to december, turn around and change my own mind and
I go back to december all the time

I Don't Wanna Run Away





If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?

I never know what the future brings
But I know you're here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

I don't know life so far away
But I know that its just a trip
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

I don't wanna run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
You know my heart is by your side

I don’t wanna run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand
If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

I'm BACKKKKKKKK~!!

Heya all! I've been MIA-ing for a while now aha! People have been wondering where I've been etc etc

Well, the last week was... pretty hectic for me..

OH YEA!! BEFORE I GO ON, CHECK OUT THE NEW BLOG TEMPLATE!

I made it myself! The ring is a series of layered pics!!

And the background I photoshopped!

I know it's a little girly, BUT HEY! What the heck right?

It was my website design project, a diamond shop, EXPLAINS A LOT HUH?!?!? HAHAHA!

A diamond is foreverrrrrrrrr~! (I got A- for it, hmmmm, I missed out sum functionalities, otherwise i would have gotten A, OH WELL!)

Oh yea, sorry if the page loads slow, you might have to refresh haha! Sometimes. Cuz I uploaded a custom font, so YEA! It should be cursive, unless your browser doesn't support the coding.

I'm done with 95% of the design

another 5% goes to.... One more last thing I wanna add to the blog. BUT THE CODE ISN'T WORKINGGGG!! WTFFFF??~?~?~~!!?!?!

I'm still looking it up. HOPEFULLY by the next post the 5% is ready! It'll make the blog even better!!!

Yeah, so this week, I had an assignment to pass up

Sunday night I slept 2hrs

Monday I went to college, got an extension, to tuesday

So monday night I did NOT sleep.

SOOOO!! 48 hrs with 2 hours of sleep. NOT BAD EH?

When I got back after handing it in, it was 4pm.

I slept TILL 8am the next day

16 HOURS OF SLEEP WTF?!?!?!?!

Today I had an exam. Argh, didn't do as well as I wanted to. But that's okay, I gotta move on, no time for regrets, just improve and do better next time.

Oh yea, that was the longest I ever slept in my life by the way HAHA!

My exam ended today, my new semester starst NEXT MONDAY WTF!??!?! Oh man.... Back to another hectic life

Climbing has been getting kinda fun lately, building up some good strength. I'll keep ya guys posted on my progress =)

I need to become stronger. In climbing, emotionaly, study-wise, everything. And I will become stronger. Every mistake is a mistake only if you don't learn from it.

Oh yea! I've been away from facebook for a week already.

I wonder what i've missed? Actually fb wastes a lot of time to be honest. Haha... I kinda found I had more time if I just didn't on my fb.

Final semester of year 2 begins next week. I gotta be prepared

I gotta be serious. This is important.

I want to make it, I want to be good. I want to be excellent. I want to make my parents proud.

It's the least I can do after they did so much for me. I always feel I'm still not a good son. Ahhhh, one day, when I can control my emotions better, i'll be a better son =)

Lately I've been thinking, the company, De beers, it is said they were the ones who made DIAMOND RINGS a compulsory accesory for guys when proposing to women.

They became rich by implementing that concept

And they also made sure that the guys paid at least 2-3x their paycheck

The power of the right kind of advertistment I tell you. They are filthy rich because of their clever advertistment.

Now practically EVERY marriage proposal requires a diamond ring.

Touche. Oh well! I wonder how much I'll pay when I buy a diamond ring for my future wife... Wow. Wonder if I can go and custom make one? LOLZ! Go to the mines and fine for diamond

Did you know diamond is used as polishing objects? like sand paper, except they are used for polishing metal tools and stuff like that

Other than that they are virtually WORTHLESS!

Except that they look pretty.

So just imagine how something that has no real use can be turned into a MUTLIMILLION DOLLAR company?

Ahhhh, the power of advertistment =)

Remember the Malboro guy? There were 3 of them. All of them died from lung cancer though. HAha! But everyone remembers the Malboro guy. He represented masculinity. And the adverstistment worked! Look at the amount of smokers man

All those guys wanna be MACHO like the Malboro guy. It's just all in the mind. Haha, how the media controls us, I tell ya.

Nike was the same, before they signed MICHAEL JORDAN up as one of their sponsored athletes, they were AN UNKNOWN brand!

But after AIR NIKE was launched, the number of shoes they sold... And Nike never looked back.

Genius I tell you. All in the power if the right kind of advertising.

.

You know what? Were like that. We all advertise ourselves. Don't you agree? We are always portraying ourselves to others.

Advertising ourselves. So FIRST, we gotta think well about ourselves BEFORE we can advertise ourselves.

Think about it, if you wanna sell a toothbrush, can you SAY that the toothbrush is lousy, or is terrible, or it doesn't work?

NO! You have to believe it's incredible, it's the best toothbrush in the world, your teeth will stink without it.

You see, there ARE good guys around, just that they don't advertise themselves well enough. Usually because they are not so playful or sociable etc etc like those playboys.

Playboys are NUMBER ONE at advertising how good they are. So it's like a TERRIBLE toothbrush with good advertising

Beats good toothbrush with bad advertising.

SO! You want to be a good toothbrush WITH good advertising

No wonder girls always say all the good guys are either taken OR gay.

Well, to a certain extent they are right, but as I say, there are good guys if you look carefully =)

WELL!

WELL WELL WELL!

You might be wondering what's my take on GOOD advertising?

Hrm... I would say.

1) Be who you are

-Well! That's certainly nothing new. BUT most of us fail at this. We tend to over advertise ourselves. Some of us guys use pick up lines, or we try to be macho, when we are really just none of that. A simple Hi usually works. Most of the time. But for some reason most of us go OUT OF OUR WAY to impress girls. Nahhhh, just be yourself, really. And it's a skill most of us should master. Don't you hate over-exaggerated adverts?

2) Don't be afraid

- Well now, it's CERTAINLY nothing new again. Let's see. Say you wanna sell the toothbrush. BUT if you are afraid to even APPROACH the person to sell the toothbrush, HOW WOULD YOU MAKE THE SALE?!?!?!? No matter how GOOD the toothbrush is, it simply won't sell because you DONT MAKE THE APPROACH! It's fear, it's a very normal part of human beings.

- Another part about fear is, fear to expose our weaknesses. As I said, number 1, be YOURSELF. People have to accept you for who you are. Of course if your working its different, but outside work, you just gotta be who you are. So hey, I don't ever hide the fact that I'm horny. Hell, I'm proud to admit it. And to hell to those who don't like it =) It's not like they're paying me to NOT be horny.

3) Quality Control

- No matter how good your advertising is, people ALWAYSSSSSSSS find out about who you really are in the end. UNLESS your a playboy who just wants one night stands, then you have to have quality control in yourself. You have to be good.

- The term GOOD does not mean an HONOURS student, or you own a BIG house, or you have a nice car. No no no, What I mean by GOOD, is what's SPECIAL about you?? What makes you GOOD? WHAT makes you BETTER than others? What's that special trait in you? That's what's gonna make you stand out from the others. No one is perfect, and we ALL have differences. And so we have to make use of that. Stand out. Shine. Be someone.

4) KNOW your worth

- Okay, this is really really really really really really reallyyyyyyyy important. What I mean by KNOW your worth is,

You gotta understand how valuable you really are. Come on, no one is going to respect someone who has low self-esteem. Let's give an example. You might be worth RM1000 (just an example). But others might say your only RM100. People label you everyday. You know you are more valuable than that. Believe it. Don't let others think any lower of you. They can say what they want, but your self-esteem is there to protect you. That's why self-esteem is so important.

-I realized that people with low self-esteem tend to have BIG relationship problems. Well, not that I'm saying people who have high self-esteem have NO relationship problems. It's just that when you have low self-esteem, you tend to

a) do everything for the person you like (to gain their acceptance because you feel you are not worth enough in the other person's eye)
b) feel lonely very frequently
c) always feel emotionally unstable

I've seen a few examples, but these are just a few. That's why building your self-esteem is so damn important. I cannot STRESS how important that is.

5) Produce what you advertise

-Have you EVER felt unsatisfied when what you ordered was NOT what you expected it to be?
Yeah, I bet everyone has. It can be clothes, food, whatever. BUT GUESS WHATTT, that's life. But a rule of thumb is to produce what you advertise yourself to be. If you say your going to be that, DO IT, if you say you'll treat your girl right, DO IT! Nothing is worse than empty words

-To be honest I'm still working on this too, I don't always follow through on what I say, it's a reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy bad habit that I need to kick. Big time.

6) Understand what YOU want

-Okay, how is this important? Let me explain. NOTHING is more important than KNOWING what you want out of life. WHY are you alive? Can you CLEARLY and CONFIDENTLY answer me right now what is your PURPOSE in this world?

-Not many can give me a REAL solid ANSWER. Sure they can give me a normal answer, but what I want is a DREAM. A GOAL. Something that they would rather DIE than NOT ACHIEVE.

-Trust me when I say most of us have no clear direction in life. Lately I started to understand what I want to do in life more and more. And someday it'll be crystal clear to me. My goal was really vague at first, which was to change the world. But now that goal is evolving. As I go through life I start to understand even more about what I want.

-So know what you want. It applies in everything. Studies, personal life, relationships, money, WHATEVER. Know what you want, then work for it. You don't work for nothing now do you? haha, most of us do that without realizing it. Sure, you work to survive. BUT were not here to survive, were here to strive and head to success. And it takes more than JUST surviving.

7) Understand the market you are in

-Hey, this is some business talk now eh? haha! Well, maybe, maybe not, but that's not important. What is important is to UNDERSTAND the market you are in.

-Let's say, a good guy, he would NOT do well in the 'teenage age' but he would be WELL SOUGHT AFTER around the adulthood age (25+?) that's where women start to look for men who they can really settle down with. So you MAY be a good guy now but girls aren't necessarily looking for you RIGHT NOW. During the teenage years girls are more looking for fun. And I've seen it so many times, even though a lot of girls claim to want something serious, actually they don't really know what they want. It's normal.

-In my college, the market is pretty limited when it comes to guys. hahahaha! It's true. But things are hm... pretty quiet. I would say. Nothing much going on. It's a really slow market. The rate of people getting together and breaking up are ....... much less than other colleges.

-so if you understand your market, you already know that you won't be sought after, so you can EITHER just concentrate on other areas in your life OR do something about it. The point is, you know.

Hmmm, I could think of a few more, but I think that's enough for now! Hope you guys enjoyed my comeback post? HAHA! Hmmmmm, I wonder how my sem 2 is gonna be. It sure feels different now. This year. The aura has changed.

Pain, you say?

Heya~! I should be doing my assignments right now, but hell, I feel that this is more important haha! Im a little bored.

WELL! I actually wanted to talk about this a while back, but nah, I didn't get a good chance to write about it.

What is pain? Is it when someone hits you? Someone slaps you? Someone tells you something you dont want to hear? People doing things that you don't want to happen?

It could be physical pain or mental pain.

Both can be quite dangerous.

You've heard of child abuse? Or wife abuse, that's under physical pain. Mental pain, can be caused by trauma or even simply betrayal etc etc

But I'm not going to focus on the 'cause' of pain right now today. What I'm going to focus more on is rather, the 'outcome'

You see, anyone can hurt you. People close to you hurt you all the time. It's part of life.

Your mom your dad your brother sister good frens. One day they will hurt you.

If they haven't wow, what a perfect life you have.

Please come find me, if you have never been hurt by someone important before. I'd really like to get to know you.

Anyone who has lived long enough has been hurt.

So is it bad to be hurt?

Well actually, some people dislike the pain very much. To be honest I don't like it very much either.

BUT at the same time, the pain is actually good, depending on how you 'react' to it.

There are actually people who WELCOME pain! They're called masochists. They like hurting themselves, they feel it's pleasurable. I pity them, but they are happy. So yeah have a good life =) in their own little world, its pleasurable. So.... As long as they don't kill themselves...

Back to the main topic.

There are three ways you can react when pain comes

1) Run away
2) Bear the pain and cry non stop
3) Bear the pain, cry, and then man up

Or don't cry but man up.

After your done crying, think again.

Why was I hurt?

And I can tell you 99% of the time. It's because you hurt someone else first.

AND even if it wasn't because you hurt someone else, it does not give you the right to hurt them back.

Revenge is an endless cycle that we should NOT start.

We should return it with kindness. Believe it or not.

This past year, I had gone through a lot of experiences.

Funny thing, I felt that after all the, sadness and pain etc etc, I became sort of kinder.

It's really weird. And it was really just a short period of sadness and pain.

Let me tell you this, it is because of the pain that I am BETTER as a person today!

Believe it or not? It opened my eyes to more of the world.

It's seriously so frigging weird! It doesn't really make sense to me.

Then I started thinking. What caused it to be this way? How come?

You see, most of the time when people are hurt, 90% of them HURT the person back.

That is a very very very very very very very very very bad habit to start.

NEVER hurt the person who hurt you. Never ever ever.

You should love them back.

I'm serious here. Start practicing this and you'll be happier. Believe me.

So you see, let's look at this in another way

LET'S say, I was hurt. And now I'm always crying. Crying. Crying. Ohhhh, my life is so terrible.. Oh it's the end of the world... ohhhh, please pity me, i need your sympathy~~

See how pathetic that sounds? See what a terrible way it is to REACT to the pain?

If I was such a weakling.. man... That's exactly how I would react.

But I'm not. I'm strong. And that experience made me even stronger.

So guys, it's not about the pain, but rather, the way you 'REACT' to the pain.

And that really determines how great of a person you are. Are you weak? Or are you strong?

The pain makes you stronger. If you react to it properly

It kills you, if you fail to react properly.

Simple? Yeah, simple. It's not so hard to understand.

But people often tell me... How???? It's so harddddddd. How did you do it?

I just did it. There's no how. I just did it.

Life is really simple. The brain is so powerful. So powerful that you can commit internal suicide with it

"ohhh, my life is horrible"

and your life is horrible

"ohhh, my life is painful"

and yes its painful

So if you want to become strong

"I'm strong, I believe im strong"

Yeah, you'll get there eventually.

It's mental conditioning. It's so important.

So tell me, is the pain nice? Of course it isn't nice, unless your a masochist

But, is it good for us? Yes, it is, if you react PROPERLY to it.

Like they say, no pain no gain =)

Why do you think you exercise? The more pain you feel the more effective. Of course dont overdo it la you'll rip your arm off.

So, broaden your mind. Don't be weak. There is a lot of good things in this world if you just look for it.

Absorb the pain, it teaches you much. Really. Don't focus on how bad your life is. Focus on what you can learn out of life.

One day I wish to write a book. About life. My points of views. Because I feel its fun to express myself. And because it would greatly help people.

BUT FIRST!

I have to

1) Grow wiser and smarter and more mature
2) Be succesful

Who would listen to someone who is not successful? I wouldn't. Unless it's a story like Harry Potter then okay la haha!

WELL! I hope that's all. And actually, I'm glad, that whatever happen happened. It happened for a good reason. =)

Rather than resisting change, we should always welcome change. It makes us grow in unexpected ways.

Yes, the ability for humans to adapt to change is our greatest asset. When you do not change, you do not keep up with the trend, you are left behind, with your same old idea. That is terrible. You want to be one step ahead not before others.

So life, I say to you, go ahead and throw me more hardships =) I'll do my best to learn from them. Well, not like I have to ask, you definitely will throw my way tons more of hardship. I just have a feeling =)

Because the road to success is filled with loads of pain, hardships, and sadness. That is the price to succeed. And I am ready to pay. Just hit me baby =))))

So yeah, back to assignments, unfortunately. HAHA!!

p.s. ahhh, hope I can finish em. Oh wait, I will. =)
